In coordination with the Ministry of Education, we were able to conduct our wrestling physical education program this month. The practices were held twice a week. A few of the kids that were in the program competed in the Belau Youth Games the previous year and were eager to get back on the mat.
There were about twenty students, boys and girls, that participated in the program. Our focus was on making the program fun and exciting for the kids. We worked on building their interest and athleticism from the ground up along with body control so that the kids can safely and confidently complete all the workouts, moves and techniques. We worked on drills, games, stretching, balance, flexibility and stance.
One of our coaches included Uilau Ilebrang Tarkong, a 17 year old from Palau High School. Uilau was our youngest Coach ever to be certified in 2017 when Palau hosted the UWW Level 1 Coaching Course in Palau.
